In the comics, Shazam, also known as Captain Marvel, is the alter ego of Billy Batson. He’s a boy who, by speaking the magic word “Shazam”, can transform himself into a costumed adult with the powers of superhuman strength, speed, flight, and other abilities. Meanwhile, Black Adam, was a corrupted, ancient Egyptian predecessor of Captain Marvel, who fought his way to modern times to challenge the hero.
Shazam is set for an April 5, 2019 release.
